Can a horse get upse if it is separated from a herd?

Answer 1

Most will, because the herd is their safety. When you take them away from their herd, they have no protection other than themselves, so they will get scared and upset. Over time however, the horse will become more relaxed about leaving the herd because they recognize you as their herd, and know that they are safe with you.

Answer 2

Yes. Horses are herd animals and are meant to be in a group of other horses or animals to interact and socialize with. If you want to get a horse, get another one. But make sure the personalities of either horse will match otherwise there's the possiblities of running into problems of them not getting along, just like with people.

Answer 2:

The answer above is very true, however in some cases there are horses that are naturally a bit anti-social. These are horses that do not enjoy the companionship of other horses for whatever reason and will do just fine on their own. There was a recent article written about this in a national publication and a study done on behaviour of horses that are kept alone and horses that were mostly raised on their own had little to no stress when kept alone. If you can only keep one horse and you plan to keep it on your own property or somewhere that they won't have other horses around, you can find a horse that prefers being alone.

Answer 3

Yes. To a horse, herd equals safety. So, when removed from the herd, they feel like they are in danger.

Answer 4

yes horses are herd animals
